  • Sponsors Brochure
    Humboldt University Berlin, Germany 6-12 August 2011 Sponsors Brochure Welcome to the second Desktop Summit The Desktop Summit is a co-located event which features the yearly contributor conferences of the GNOME and KDE communities, GUADEC and Akademy. The conference will take place from 6-12 August 2011 in Berlin, Germany. The event will feature joint keynotes, talks and social events as well workshops and coding sessions. The Desktop Summit is organised by the GNOME Foundation and KDE e.V. GNOME and KDE have been cooperating in order to make choices and application development easier for end users, distributors and ISVs. An increased amount of technology is shared between the desktop, making cross-desktop application integration easier. By holding their annual developer flagship events in the same location, KDE and GNOME foster collaboration and discussion between their developer communities. The first Desktop Summit in 2009 was a huge success: 852 free software advocates from 46 countries gathered together to discuss and enhance the free desktop experience at the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit. The event accomplished its goal of increasing cooperation between GNOME and KDE to improve the Free Desktop experience. The aim of the Desktop Summit 2011 is to intensify this momentum and further advance collaboration between the KDE, GNOME and the rest of the Free Desktop and mobile open source community. It presents a unique opportunity for main actors to work together and improve the free and open source desktop for all. Join us to make this event a success! The Venue Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is one of the leading research institutions enjoying an excellent international reputation.
